Kieron Dyer was one of those footballers who should have been one of those legends who was a pleasure to see. He is one of the golden generation or baby bentleys. His story has hid nothing about his life. Excellent read very gritty.

As an Ipswich lad I found this a great read. Well recommend for any footy fan and not just for those following one of the club's that Dyer has played for.Reason for not quite reaching 5 stars is I felt that Dyer could of added more giving his career.I suppose we all like to stumble upon a little more scandal regarding what goes on at clubs etc but to be fair it's written well. I found it hard to put down.

Very honest book from a very talented player who seemed to have an uncanny knack of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.Having said that, it was enlightening to read what actually happened at some of the incidents he was alleged to have been involved in. eg. the sexual assault case, the infamous pitch brawl at Newcastle,and how the media used only the `facts` they needed to sell newspapers. As an Ipswich fan of over 50 years, it was also very disappointing to read how the club chairman of the time treated him over his transfer to Newcastle.Its great to know he is now back at the club and helping young players and advising them on how not to make the same mistakes.Perhaps this is a book which should be read by all youngsters, not just football fans,as an example of how easily life can go wrong when you dont know the pitfalls or are badly advised.This is not Pullitzer prize winning journalism,but is all the easier to read for it.Good luck to Kieron Dyer in the future.

My very first audiobook and Im completely hooked. As a Newcastle fanatic back in the early 2000s Kieron Dyer was by far my favourite player and I was there in with the away fans when he completely ran the show at Derby County's Pride Park coming back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 back in April 2002. I'll never forget that performance and Dyer could certainly have been up there with the likes of Frank Lampard with countless trophies if he stayed injury free and no doubt earned a big move to a top Champions League club. Call me deluded but I still firmly believe Newcastle would have won the 2001/02 Premier League title if Craig Bellamy didn't get injured in March. We were up there with Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd that year and miles ahead of Leeds and Chelsea. What a great month we had in December & January that season, top of the league for the most part. Honest and compelling story of Kieron Dyer isn't to be missed.

As he was with my local club NUFC for sometime I purchased it after seeing his book promotion on Breakfast TV so after his interview I am anticipating it be an above average read for autobiographies of this nature
